Hi Duga - good to hear from you. Lots of decisions eh?

I'm glad you are having the chemo - I was diagnosed with DCIS back in 2003 - Grade 3 with comedo necrosis - and a 2nd opinion I sought recently said I should have been given chemo back then - which I wish I had - as the BC came back - this time Stage 4 Her2 - but who knows - cant change the past.

Anyways - hope all goes well with your treatment. I wear a compression sleeve for lymphodoema to my left arm and see a physio for ongoing asssessment.

All the best
Blessings
Hermiracles
